Their story is, that after the blowing up of the magazine of Fort Moultrie, and fully expecting a continuance of the shelling the fol- lowing day, the rebels made preparation for the removal of their best guns, with the inten- tion of evacuating the Island; but finding the next morning the shelling was not renewed, they concluded to wait a little longer. The deserters reached Morris Island under the following circumstances: Several officers belonging to the garrison of Fors Moultre, who had gone out yachting, went ashore at some point in the bay, leaving the yacht in charge of these seven soldiers, two of whom acted as a Guard. As soon as the shore party were far enough away, the soldiers, guards and all, formed @ plan, placing themselves under the protection of the Stars and Stripes, and reached the Joyal camp in safety.

After two distinct efforts of the recapture of Chattancoga, we have now the intelligence that the enemy is still in possession of that stronghold and strengthening its works. While events linger in Tennessee, the situa- tion in Northern Virginia has become critical, The enemy is preparing for a grand attack on the Rapidan, and massing his forces at Cul- peper, also reeonnoitering and encroaching on the railrcad and river, and indicates a deter. mination to fight. FROM HAVANA, NEw YorK, Sept. 20.—The steamer Creole, trom New Orleans, via Hayana on the 2Ist, has arrived. There was considerable anxiety for the safety of the Spanish mail steamer Mexico, due on the 14th, but it had notarrived. She had $0 pas- eengers on board. The only information of her is, she gave food and water to the British brig Lola on the 13th, furty miles east of the Gulf of Campeachy. Passengers per the Lola report seeing on the evening of the !3tha fire, supposed to be the Mexico in flames, but the truth of the report cannot now be verified. A thousand trcops have arrived at Havana from Spain within a week. Gen. Buceta, who started from the frontier of Hayti, pn his return to Santiago, had several skirmishes with the rebels, generally beating them, but arrived at Santiago with only a few orderlies, owing to heat and fatigue. It is reported he has since united his force with those of Colonel Capper, and given battle to the rebels, routing them. The rebels are accused of having entered un- @efended towns, and murdered defenceless men and sick soldiers. They are reported to infest the woods, which are thereby rendered unapproachable. Reports say the Spanish troops have been ordered to set the woods on fire and burn them out. pete ae FOREIGN VESSELS AT NEW YORK.

The Twenty-first anniversary of the organiza- tion of the order of Sons of Temperance is being celebrated in this city to-day. A procession ‘was tormed at2 o'clock at the Union League Roome, on Ninth street, amd marched thence to the President's Houséin the following order, the whole procession being under the marshal- ship of Mr. F. M. Bradley, assisted by three sige, und two aselatant marshals for each di- vision : First came the Marine Band, followed by the Grand Davisicn of the District. This was fol- Jowed by Good Samaritan Division, No. 1, having on one side a fountaia—a beautifal ex- ecution, the work of Mr. M. T. Parker—and the inscription, « Come ye to the waters.” Above the fountain was the emblem of the order, 4 tri-colored triangle, enclosing a star in the centre. On the reverse side of the banner was the name 4nd date of the organization of the Division. Federal City Division, No.2, followed, headed by a barouche gaily decorated with flags, and with a banner wiih the tri-colored triangle and star upon iz. Three young ladies were seated in this barouche. iss Lizzie Pearson was arrayed in red, and represented “Love; Miss Hattie Moss, dressed in white, representing « Purity,” and Miss Addie Bushee, dressed in blue, representing “Fidelity”—“Love, Purity and Fidelity,” being the motto of the order. Equal Division, No.3, came next, and they bore # banner representing &@ woman (Temper- ance) trampling upon the Demon of Intemper- ance. Armory Square Division, No. 4, followed, bearing & banner with appropriate emblematic designs. ‘Columbia Division No. 5, followed. This Division was only organized on Friday even- ing last, and consequently haye had no time to prepare banners. Both the last named Divisions are composed entirely ot soldiers. A large number of ladies took part in the celebration, marching along upon the sidewalk. Arrived at the President’s House Mr. R.S. Green, on behalf of the Order, presented an address to President Lincoln. The address sets forth that they are banded together to oppose the ravages of intemperance, the most terrible foe of our race—a foe which « prostrates all that is great, and blights all that is good'in humanity. i They disclaim having any malice towards individuals or classes, but strive to createa healthiul public sentiment in favor of total abstinence, win to their ranks those who love their cause, and saye from a life of wretched- ness, and a death of shame, the victims of this vice. ‘The address claims that in this, the twenty- first anniversary ef the birth of the Order, there is not a city or village in North America which does not boast a Division of the Sons of Temperance. “We had in this city two years ago but one feeble organization; we now have five flourishing Divisions, embracing about one ‘thousand members and lady visitors.” They call attention to the ravages of in- temperance, and say they are making an ef- fort to extend the order inthe army and in the Military Hospitals, and they ask the Presi- dent’s countenance and aid in theirefforts, and respectiully petition— 1. That the officers under him shall as far as consistent with the public service, extend all needed facilities for the organization of Divis- ions of our Order in the army. 2. That soldiers in regiments and hospitals ave facilities for attending the evening ings of the Divisicns composed of citizens. 3. That suitable rooms be prepared in the hospitals for the meetings ot the Soldier Divis- ions. Such a room as would be suitable for this object is required for other, and pornans: more important purposes. Every hospital needs a place tor public worship on the Sab- bath. The same plac could be used for prayer and social mee ings, and fora library and read- ing room. They close their address by saying: «We ltave tbese suggestions with you the more freely. knowing that you are the soldier's friend. No man could manifest more kindness and 8y)mputhy for them than yon havedone. For thie a great people will hold youin grateful re- membrance, and the children of the fallen will pronounce their blessing on your name.” ‘The addxess is signed by R. G. Greene,Grand Worthy Patriarch; F. M. Bradley, G. W. As- sociate; John S. Poler, G. Scribe; J. Li. Kid- well, G. Treasurer; John Johnson, G. Chap- lain; Geo. H. Wilson, G. Conductor. ‘The President then replied that of course it would not be possible for him to make a re- sponse coextensive with the address delivered to him. o % If he was tetter known it would not need to be told that he had from his youth up been an advocate of the temperance cause. Whena young man—long ago—iong before the Sops of Temperance wéfo thought of, he had, in a humble way, made a temperance pledge with himselt,-and till this day he had maintained it by his example. ‘With regard to the suggestions in the address relative to temperance in the army he could not make any particular response. It is a part of the law of the land, and one of the articles of war, that an officer should be dismissed the service for drunkenness. He cid not thing that more could be done consistent with the public service than had been done. If, however, they would give him S copy of the address he woald lay it before the proper department. He could promise no more. All men agree that intemperance isa great curse, but differed about the cure. The sug- gestion that it existed toa great extent in the army was true, but whether that was the cause of defeat he knew not; but he did know there was a good deal of it on the other side. Therefore they had no right to beat us on that “round. [Laughter.] «he President closed by again requesting a copy of the address. The remarks of the President were listened to with great interest, and elicited much ap- plause. At the conclusion of the address, the three young ladies, representing Love, Purity, and Fidelity, each presented the President with a boquet, accompanied by remarks by one of the young ladies. The President expreseed a fear that he could not bold all the flowers; but Master Thody Lincoln was on hand, and relieved his father of the agreeable load, bearing it off to Mrs. Lincoln. Mr. E. W. Dunbar, the author of the song “We are Coming, Father Abraham, 300,00 More,’’ was -then introduced, and sung the song in fine style, much to the gratification of the President and all present. The President then retired, and the proces- sion was reformed and marched to the Smith- gonian, where addressgd will be delivered. —— CrimINnaL Court.—This morning, ia tie ab- sence of Judge Fisher, Chief Justica Curtter presided.
